playing FFXIII in 1080p is a catch 22.

if you do play it in 1080p, you get to watch the 1080p cutscenes in all their glory..........but then you have the games native 720p being upscaled to 1080p, which is a big upscale. personally i would prefer to see the in-game graphics in their native resolution, so i would play it at 720p.

on the 360, anyone that plays it in 1080p is just stupid. nothing in the game is native 1080p, so theres literally no reason to play it in ...

nice improvement, looks like they fixed the poor texture work from the demo.

we'll see how bad the aliasing is when we play the game, you cant really tell from screenshots alone.

definitely not the best looking game on any platform though lol. Crysis will not be beaten by this generation of consoles.

every single video game has 'CG graphics'. you do know what the C and G in CG stand for dont you? apparently not.

and anyway, and increase in graphics is not 'something that no game has ever done before'. and no matter how good it looks, Crysis on a good PC looks better.

and as for 'levels on a NPC (never been done before)', thats just laughable. thats like saying that Bioshock did something never done before because it was set in Rapture, or that Ge...

"That's not true at all.Hardware that fails,is noisy,lacks quality DVD/media playback and has no Blu Ray either,are very valid reasons not to get a 360."

1. PS3 hardware fails just as much as 360 hardware over the last 2 years. YLOD, firmware bricking, blu-ray drive read failures......its widespread. also the 360 has a no questions asked FREE 3 year warranty for its main failure, so thats no reason not to get one. if it breaks, it gets fixed promptly and for free.

name 2 things that God of War 3 is doing that no other game has done before.

the way all you fanboys are carrying on saying the score is too low WHEN YOU HAVENT EVEN PLAYED THE GAME is ridiculous. look, the games not perfect. accept it, and just enjoy it for what it is - god of war in HD, just like you remember it but on a bigger scale with better graphics. its NOT going to be a genre-redefiner, its not going to be some epic leap in gameplay, and its not going t...

The Real Killer:

look mate, youre wrong. it IS a widely accepted fact - not only in the general video game following public, but amongst the developers too - that the 360s GPU is better than the PS3s. fact. cannot deny it. 100% true.

Sony werent even going to have a GPU, they were going to have 2 cell processors - one for GPU and one for CPU. when this didnt work out, they quickly had to get a conventional GPU or risk delaying the console. they got basically an off t...

if you do AA with the SPUs, you have to dedicated one whole SPU to doing AA - that right there means that instead of having 6 SPUs to use for CPU power, you only have 5. so sure, you could get the game having AA - but you might have to lose half of the AI on screen at any given time, or have canned physics instead of dynamic physics. its all a trade off.

and then theres the fact that with multiplatform games like BFBC2 youre doing the 360 version with 6 hardware threads, but if y...

i asked the question to prove a point. when there are only a tiny handful of multi-platform games that actually are better on the PS3, and Digital Foundry have already said as much, asking the question of ' can you find a multi-platform title where he praises the PS3 version?' and using it to infer that Digital Foundry simply choose to not give the PS3 praise when it deserves it, is entirely misleading.

when it deserves the praise, it gets the praise. if it does...

anyone that has reasons NOT to buy a 360 is a sony fanboy, pure and simple. any REAL video game fan will buy any console, or any game, regardless of who makes it.

the 360 is a fantastic console, and anyone that doesnt own one IS missing out, guaranteed. the same goes for the PS3 - if you dont own one, youre missing out. those of us that buy all the consoles know this, as we get to play every game that gets released. people limiting what games they can play purely because they li...

i wasnt aware that Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 was on the 360? when did this come out? lol

Dragon Age, they did praise the PS3 version:

i mustve imagined frontlines: fuel of war being 50 players online on dedicated servers on the 360? suppose i imagined Left 4 Dead or any number of the other games using dedicated servers actually using dedicated servers?

more players != better. dedicated servers != always better.

the number of players is chosen on pretty much everything OTHER than 'how many players can the internet possibly handle at a time?'. gears of war 2 is 5 on 5 for design reasons. Uncharted 2...

better question for you: can you find a multi-platform title where the PS3 DESERVES to be praised?

5950d ago 1 agree1 disagreeView comment

they might be talented with porting, but this isnt a port so its a moot point.

Bad Company 2, like nearly EVERY other multiplatform game this generation, has all versions developed concurrently. this, by definition, is not a port.

some of you guys seem to be forgetting that IBM have CEASED development on the Cell processor. this means that if sony want to use the Cell for the PS4, theyre gonna have basically the same processor thats in the PS3 in the PS4 - and thats instant fail right there.

sony will have learned from their mistakes this generation. next gen you will see a lower price, integrated online, a better GPU, and a return to a more standard CPU design. the Cell failed in what sony wanted it to do...

monumental, epic lols at the people trying to pin this on the 360s GPU 'computational power' hahahahahahahaha.

the 360 has a better GPU and better RAM setup than the PS3. this is a fact, cannot be disputed.

theres only one thing to say about FFXIII on PS3 vs 360 - its a horrible, horrible port. do you guys REALLY think that a turn based freaking RPG would somehow be the single most processor intensive game ever released on the either console? no? then why are you sa...

576i is standard definition, and that is with a horizontal resolution of 720 or 704 generally.

so this isnt 'standard definition' - in australia 576p is classed as High Definition too btw - and it is a fair amount of pixels over and above 720x576 (576i, or standard definition): it runs at 1024x576.

the difference is:

720x576 = 414720
1024x576 = 589824

big difference, but still well below 720p having said that.

heavy rain was only 'all the buzz' to PS3 fanboys who already own PS3s. lets face it, unless you are on sites like this actively reading up on upcoming games, you wouldnt have even known what heavy rain was, let alone be ready to buy a PS3 just to play it.

Heavy Rain is not a console seller in any meaning of the term.

5953d ago 1 agree2 disagreeView comment

what a laughable article.

i love how they say that since the PS3 sold more this week than last week it is 100% because of Heavy Rain, and that Heavy Rain is responsible for EVERY single PS3 sold above the week befores figures.

how can any of you even believe a word of this dribble? do you think that there is a set number of PS3s that get sold every week, and that if they sell LESS than that number one week it MUST be because of a game that came out that week, or if i...

@DaTruth:

Ghostbusters was worse than this, and it was a lot more noticable. watching the comparison videos for FF, yes you notice the difference but its never really that big. Ghostbusters on the other hand, it looked like the entire PS3 game was smeared with vaseline all the time.

either way, i wasnt buying this game on PS3 or 360 so i dont care in the slightest how bad the port is.

one noteworthy thing that i have to point out - the 360 version IS a p...
